Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 216 To conquer a man's heart, you must first conquer his taste buds.
So many people are hoping that Gu Jianing will return to the Northwest Military Region, return to work in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, and seek her medical treatment.

Moreover, other departments at the Northwest Military Region Hospital both respected and resented Old Chen.

Respect, of course, stems from his abilities; hatred, of course, is not true hatred, but rather the feeling that Old Chen is too shrewd.

When Gu Jianing first arrived, he immediately took her away.

He later took her on as his apprentice.

Now, Gu Jianing has given lectures, received awards from higher authorities, become a professor, been featured in newspapers, and gained national fame—what a prestigious thing!

If Gu Jianing had been in their department back then, and if Gu Jianing had any connection with them, they could have benefited from it too.

Within the Northwest Military Region, morale was high, but Gu Jianing was unaware of this.

She woke up in the late afternoon, almost evening.

Sheng Zexi hasn't returned from training yet.

Grandma Sang had already woken up.

I'm making dinner in the kitchen.

Gu Jianing felt a little embarrassed and wanted to help.

"Oh, you don't need to help. Grandma can handle things here."

"Go do your thing, if you don't need to, just sit down."

Grandma Sang came to the Northwest Military Region to take care of Gu Jianing, so how could Gu Jianing be expected to serve her because of their seniority?

Although, when she was at home in Beijing, there was a nanny sent by her superiors to take care of her and her husband.

However, Grandma Sang is not incapable of cooking; in fact, she is quite skilled at it.

I just don't cook as much these days.

Now that her granddaughter-in-law Ningning is pregnant, her great-grandmother naturally wants her to eat well.

Gu Jianing was kicked out.

I could only go back to the living room and pick up a book to read.

However, Sheng Zexi returned shortly afterward.

Sheng Zexi also wanted to help in the kitchen, but was kicked out by Grandma Sang.

"You go and keep Ning company. I don't need you here. Hurry up and get things done."

Sheng Zexi: Okay.

So, Sheng Zexi went to the kang (a heated brick bed) in the living room and talked to Gu Jianing.

Gu Jianing talked about her life in Beijing, and of course, she also mentioned that Li Shuyao was arrested in the middle of the night last night, and that Old Master Li was so angry that he fainted.

“I will contact Zhenrong about Li Shuyao’s matter and ask him to keep an eye on it and let me know if there is any news,” Sheng Zexi said.

"it is good."

Gu Jianing looked at Sheng Zexi, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Aren't you going to ask me how I determined that Li Shuyao was an enemy agent?"

Sheng Zexi looked intently at Gu Jianing, reached out his large hand, and grasped her hand. "I know you have your own abilities."

"If you want to, you can tell me; if you don't want to..."

If someone doesn't want to, Sheng Zexi never forces them.

Moreover, he knew that it was Ningning's secret.

Since it's a secret, the fewer people who know it, the better, even if it's him.

Gu Jianing hesitated for a moment, but still said, "If Comrade Hua and the others don't know where to start their investigation of Li Shuyao... they can start with Li Shuyao's cat."

"Ok?"

“I can understand what the cat is saying.”

Sheng Zexi's pupils widened slightly, and he immediately looked around. After finding that there was no one else around, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Jianing knew his concerns and lowered her voice, "Actually, not only that cat, I can understand the language of all animals."

It took Sheng Zexi a while to finally accept it.

"No wonder, no wonder when I see you and Amber, it seems like you're having a normal conversation."

Ningning understands everything Amber thinks and does.

At first, he thought that the two were closer because Ningning knew Amber better.

Unexpectedly, the root cause was this: Ningning could understand animal language.

Sheng Zexi held Gu Jianing's hand, tightening his grip slightly. "Ningning, you haven't told anyone else about this, have you?"

"No, except for you."

"That's good. Don't tell anyone."

"As for other secrets, you should keep them to yourself and try not to tell me."

Gu Jianing: Well, this man is really cautious.

However, Gu Jianing knew that Sheng Zexi was being so cautious because it was for her own good.

Gu Jianing immediately recounted what she had overheard the cat saying at the department store.

As for enemy intelligence markings, Gu Jianing didn't mention them.

But just by listening to what the cat said, it was clear that Li Shuyao was undoubtedly an enemy agent.

Now all that's left is to verify it.

“I suspect that Li Shuyao used that cat to pass on messages.”

That's why Li Shuyao has been keeping that cat.

“No wonder…” Sheng Zexi suddenly realized.

Using cats to deliver intelligence, it's truly remarkable how those people came up with that idea.

In particular, Li Shuyao also has the added advantage of being a member of the Li family as a cover.

No one would suspect her.

No one else could understand animal speech like Ningning could, and understand the cat's speech, thus deducing that Li Shuyao was an enemy agent.

"Ningning, thank goodness you found out."

If Ningning hadn't discovered it, then it's unknown how long it would have taken for Li Shuyao to be discovered.

Who knows how many missions and secrets will be leaked because of her?

“Ningning, if what Li Shuyao said is true, you deserve the most credit.”

"If this matter is confirmed, you will definitely be rewarded when it comes time to distribute rewards."

Gu Jianing rested her chin on her hands. "I don't care about any credit. It's mainly because Li Shuyao has always been hostile towards me."

"Now that she's been arrested, I no longer have to worry about her lurking in the shadows and making a move against me again."

Especially since she will have children later.

She was afraid that Li Shuyao was hiding in the shadows and that one day Li Shuyao would harm her child.

Therefore, Li Shuyao's arrest is a good thing for her, and she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"She's been arrested, so I guess I've done a service to the country," Gu Jianing said with a smile. After all, Li Shuyao was an enemy agent.

What good can enemy agents be?

"Yes, you've rid the country of a scourge!" Sheng Zexi praised, patting her head.

Just then, Grandma Sang came in carrying the food.

"It's time to eat."

"Okay, I'll go get the bowls and chopsticks." Sheng Zexi was a quick-witted man and soon helped get the bowls and chopsticks, and also served rice to all three of them.

After eating the food cooked by Grandma Sang, Gu Jianing was immediately amazed.

"Oh my, Grandma, your cooking is amazing! It's like divine culinary skills!"

Gu Jianing's words of praise made Grandma Sang laugh heartily.

Is it really that delicious?

"of course."

Through Sheng Zexi's narration, Gu Jianing learned that Grandma Sang had a sensitive sense of taste and was extremely talented in cooking when she was young.

The food they make is even more delicious.

Grandpa Sang kept pursuing Grandma Sang because of her excellent cooking skills.

After all, to win a man's heart, you must first win his taste buds.
